Withdrawls

 This is the fun I now get to deal with.  I have felt lately that I am slowly getting worse.  I really believe part of this is due to pills.  I have decided to stop this medication.  Why? The more I read about antidepressants, the more worried I am for my health.  Now, I have been extremely tired, very sour stomach, body aches, bad heartburn, headaches, irritability.  This is all because I have chosen to give up this nasty drug.

Lately I have been on a healthy living kick.  I have switched to organic beauty products, I use only water and a very scientific cloth to clean instead of chemicals.  It is incredible once you begin to read and realize all of the junk that is in all of your products around your home.  I am actually disgusted most of all with Johnson and Johnson, along with other children's product companies.  They put nasty things like formaldehyde in their products.  Plus, a chemical that numbs children's tear ducts!  This is just one very tiny example of what companies do....and they seem uncaring.  It IS possible to make products that are organic!  We don't need all of these chemicals!  Please, just consider researching a few small things. It may change your life.

 Discontinuing Wellbutrin

• Discontinuing Wellbutrin requires the advice of a doctor and should never be stopped abruptly. A gradual decrease is necessary to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Over 50 withdrawal symptoms associated with Wellbutrin have been reported. They range in severity from mild annoyances to life threatening conditions and generally require monitoring by a medical professional.
  

Physical

• Physical symptoms include lack of coordination, difficulties maintaining balance, migraines or increased incidence of headaches, tingling or electric shock like sensations, and general lethargy and fatigue. These may signal a more serious condition that requires medical intervention.
  

Psychological

• Wellbutrin withdrawal may trigger a host of psychological symptoms that are out of character for the user. Aggressive behavior that is not characteristic for the patient, hostility, irritability, paranoia may occur.

Notify your doctor immediately if you experience psychological disturbances that are not characteristic for you or have suicidal thoughts.
